Basic constructions in rational homotopy theory of function spaces

Urtzi Buijs, Aniceto Murillo (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Via the Bousfield-Gugenheim realization functor, and starting from the Brown-Szczarba model of a function space, we give a functorial framework to describe basic objects and maps concerning the rational homotopy type of function spaces and its path components.

Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structures on Hochschild cohomology

Luc Menichi (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Let M be any compact simply-connected oriented d -dimensional smooth manifold and let 𝔽 be any field. We show that the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology on the singular cochains of M , H H * ( S * ( M ) , S * ( M ) ) , extends to a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. Such Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra was conjectured to exist and is expected to be isomorphic to the Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra on the free loop space homology on M , H * + d ( L M ) introduced by Chas and Sullivan. We also show that the negative cyclic cohomology H C - * ( S * ( M ) ) ...

Bimorphisms in pro-homotopy and proper homotopy

Jerzy Dydak, Francisco Ruiz del Portal (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A morphism of a category which is simultaneously an epimorphism and a monomorphism is called a bimorphism. The category is balanced if every bimorphism is an isomorphism. In the paper properties of bimorphisms of several categories are discussed (pro-homotopy, shape, proper homotopy) and the question of those categories being balanced is raised. Our most interesting result is that a bimorphism f:X → Y of t o w ( H 0 ) is an isomorphism if Y is movable. Recall that ( H 0 ) is the full subcategory of p r o - H 0 consisting of...

Borsuk's quasi-equivalence is not transitive

Andrzej Kadlof, Nikola Koceić Bilan, Nikica Uglešić (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Borsuk's quasi-equivalence relation on the class of all compacta is considered. The open problem concerning transitivity of this relation is solved in the negative. Namely, three continua X, Y and Z lying in ℝ³ are constructed such that X is quasi-equivalent to Y and Y is quasi-equivalent to Z, while X is not quasi-equivalent to Z.
